Edelman, Nelson run for Council Position 4

Fire levy does not affect Black Diamond

Managing YarrowBay’s master planned developments, bringing in new business and communicating better with residents are among the common themes in the race for Position No. 4 on the Black Diamond City Council.

Patrick Nelson is running against Janie Edelman, the incumbent who was appointed in March to complete Joe May’s term.

Both candidates want to find common ground in the community with regard to the growth proposed by YarrowBay’s master planned developments and help all residents understand the MPDs. Both Nelson and Edelman want to, if elected, help bring more businesses to the city. Both candidates moved to Black Diamond from other parts of King County.

Edelman was born in Rapid

The city of Black Diamond has an interlocal agreement contract with King County Fire District 44, also known as Mountain View Fire and Rescue, which means the city won’t be directly impacted by the levy lid lift on the November election ballot.

Prior to 2006 Black Diamond had an independent fire department that was all volunteer. The number of volunteers had been dwindling according to Mayor Rebecca Olness, who was serving her first term on the Black Diamond City Council at the time.

Olness said that deciding to forego the city’s own department meant either entering into an ILA with one of the neighboring fire districts, one of which is Fire District 44, or annexing into one of the districts.

Tribute to Ricky Nelson at Kentlake High Saturday

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@kentreporter.com

Matthew Nelson best describes his dad’s legendary music and acting career as a series of comebacks.

When criticized – even booed off the stage – undaunted Ricky Nelson would return to play again.

“What I learned from him, more than anything, is to never

give up, and he never did,” Matthew Nelson said of his famous father, America’s first “Teen Idol” of the 1950s who eventually blossomed to became a Rockabilly and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician and singer-songwriter.

Globally recognized but not universally loved, Ricky Nelson played to his own beat, performing music that transcended genres, from rock to pop, folk to country.

Despite the critics, especially those who scrutinized the man late in his up-and-down career, Ricky Nelson persevered to become one of the most important rock artists and influential musicians of the last 50 years, producing more than 100 million lifetime record sales.

“He was one of the only guys who really reinvented himself and did something completely different,” Matthew Nelson said by phone from Nashville, Tenn.

“A lot of people in America were writing him off as a made-for-TV pretty boy … only to (became) a vital and relevant artist. … He got

Construction should begin later this year at the Covington Aquatic Center.

The building needs a new roof among other upgrades.

Scott Thomas, Covington’s parks and recreation director, said the project went to bid Aug. 16 and the bids for a contractor will be opened Sept. 12. Work should begin in October.

“There’s two main pieces to the project,” Thomas said. “The big driving instigator for the project is that the roof is at the end of its useful life so we’re going to be re-roofing it. It’s also already got layers on it so we have to deal with how many layers are on the roof

MAPLE VALLEY YOUTH SYMPHONY OFFERING JAM CLUB The Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra is offering Jam Club, music programs designed for students with special needs.

The program allows youth with special needs the opportunity to participate in group music making while taking into consideration each student’s unique physical, cognitive and social needs.

larger rental space, about 480 square feet. That is double the size of the current space. Initially the plan was to remodel the existing rental room, but given its original purpose it was limited in how it could be improved. With the addition, the rental room can be converted back to storage space.

Thomas explained the construction will not disrupt operation of the pool.

“Since it’s an addition to the building it has very little impact on the operations on the inside and everything is being oriented around not disrupting the uses that we have now,” he said.

With the addition, Thomas added, the aquatic

that is in the heart of the Maple Valley with a recommendation to pass the ILA. “I am pleased to support this proposed agreement that will benefit the city of Maple Valley and the County,” said Maple Valley Mayor Bill Allison.

The ordinance, introduced by County Councilman Reagan Dunn, authorizes the County Executive to enter into an interlocal agreement with Maple Valley regarding the annexation of the Summit Pit property.

The ILA will allow for a smooth transition of the Maple Valley Proposed Annexation Area to city control and ensure the continued operation of the roads maintenance facility owned by the King County Department of

Transportation.

“This ordinance is a very important step for both the County and the city of Maple Valley,” said Dunn. “This legislation will give Maple Valley residents the ability to decide what the best use will be for this property, which will help shape the character of this area for years to come.

The ILA would ensure that the County can continue its current use of the facility, which also includes a gravel mine. Operation of the facility would continue on the property until the property is sold or transferred.

The proposed ILA would also have Maple Valley keep the County informed of any pro-

posal to change land use or zoning on the property, which will allow the County to provide meaningful input regarding any impacts to the continuation of its operations.

This agreement is an important step for the city of Maple Valley as it gives the City control over their vision of future develop-

ment of this area. Future plans could include a high school to ease overcrowding or development that will lead to increased economic activity and job creation.

The TrEE Committee sent the ordinance to the full County Council for final action in September.

center will provide another value added service to patrons.

“It is going to be fabulous to be able to have birthday parties or other kind of functions,” Thomas said.

“This new room is going to be associated with the plaza … so the aquatic center is really going to be able to provide a lot more service to the community than we have in the past. It’s really going to be great. It’s going to make the aquatic center a lot more versatile.”

This is being covered by a $400,000 Washington State Commerce Grant.

“The other big part of that project is we’re trying to increase recreational offerings in Covington,” Thomas said. “We had been using a converted storage space as a rental room for birthday parties. It’s not a great space for that use and we need the space for storage so we’re building a rental room, it’s an addition.”

Work began on the design of the project in October 2012 when the city hired Fred French as a project-construction manager on a part-time, as-needed basis, according to information provided in March by Ethan Newton, the city’s aquatics supervisor. Covington then hired Taproot Architects to work on the design and development of concept drawings.

Because of the budget involved as well as grant requirements, the scope of the project was narrowed to include an art installation, improvements to the roof, outside plaza area and exterior paint along with

O Q U O T E O F N O T E : The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.

- Sydney J. Harris

The fun ride of middle school

Oh. My. Gosh. Hail to the ‘Stangs! I was expecting a dreadful first two days of school, but that theory was put to shame.

I don’t know if some kids are still a bit nervous about middle school, but I know that I’m not a part of that crowd. I am so glad to be in middle school. Now Crestwood Elemenatry has an amazing education and it was so fun being there but Mattson is a different ball game in my eyes.

When we walked through the big double doors, us new seventh graders were instantly greeted

by Mr. Ulrich who is the metal shop and woodshop teacher, and Mr. Masters, our awesome security guard. They were holding the doors for us and high fiving us, reasurring us that it’s going to be fine.

One thing that was appreciated by many was that on the first day of middle school we didn’t need to go straight to a normal day. What consumed our morning was an all seventh grade assembly. Most of the eighth grade student body was not showing up until sometime after 11 a.m.. The eighth graders that were present were part of the Stang Crew. This particular group of students devoted many days of their summer and a lot of their time to helping the new seventh graders. The assembly was almost more like a pep rally. Mr. Lindh, the head Stang Crew leader, and Mrs. Burns, the goofy, young hearted teachers at Mattson hosted the assembly — what seemed to be a party!

Also our wonderful Principal Mrs. Unruh and Assistant Principal Mrs. Beliveau had kind words to ease the tension. We were encouraged to be loud and we were encouraged to sing when Mr. Lindh did. Besides talking about things to keep in mind, their were some fun activities.

For example, some Stang Crew leaders chose a few kids each and multiple teachers came down to dance on the gym floor. Some even got into a dance-off. Teachers were doing the splits and a kid was spinning on his head. We kids in the stands were going nuts. My friends and I in the stands were saying, “I already love Mattson.”

Toward the end of the assembly, when Mrs. Burns pointed to the left side of the bleachers, they all screamed Mattson! And when she pointed to the right side, we all screamed Mustangs!

We got louder and louder and soon it was a who can be louder match. It was so fun! First impressions mean a lot, and Mattson, you nailed it.

Next we all separated into groups with a few Stang Crew eighth graders and went to a classroom to talk and get acquainted with different people. After that, we were all summoned to lunch. It was complete chaos because we had both lunches together. Thankfully I brought lunch — I felt bad for my friends that were still in line when I finished. But when they got their food they were not let down. There are many Guest Columnist

MAIL: Letters, Covington/Maple Valley Reporter,

new choices in middle school. You can get the main course, pizza, salad, or a freshly made sub! I’m going to be ordering more than I ever did before. Soon we all realized that when you were done, you could go outside and hang out.

As we all know there isn’t a recess from middle school and up. That is kind of an understatement. When you go outside, we are pretty much free. We can’t go to our lockers and if you think you can sneak past the red lines on the ground to stuff something in your locker, you will be sniffed out by Mr. Masters. But, soon you will be able to get passes for a football, basketball, soccer ball, etc.

Or you can do what we did on the first few days. Stand around talking, if you can hear from all the kids screaming in excitment. Kids were chasing each other, some getting piggy-back rides, everybody was having fun, which was great for the first day of middle school. When the bell rang, it was time to go to each individual class to meet your teachers and learn the new schedule. My first period was home economics with Mrs. Amy. I absolutely love her spunky, fun personality.

In each class, all we did was learn the rules of the class, learn about our teacher, and learn about what we will be doing in the class. We also talked about a new thing to the school called Stang Time where we talk about Mattson, which includes all the things coming up and our questions or concerns. Because of this addition it mixed up our schedule a bit. But I’m sure that after a few days we will have it down. Home and Family Studies is my elective but others have different electives such as art, orchestra, band, choir, metal or wood shop, and some kids will be able to run for a spot in the ASB — some may know it as student council. Next period for me is Health and Fitness which is taught by Mr. Sencenbaugh. I am excited for all the things we will be doing like soccer, volleyball, and Frisbee.

Other than maybe some fitness gram testing I think that class will be really fun.

On the way to my locker, which is almost at the end of one side of the school, I noticed that we were in complete grid lock. Fun. As we herded into different classes like cattle, I noticed that the eighth graders were being very courteous to us sevies. It’s nice to look up to them — literally — and have them as such a good inspiration.

Also I noticed there was that one poor kid that was going the wrong way on the wrong side of the hall, and that triggered a bunch of people to start bumping into each other. I wasn’t late, and I think that was just a few too many kids that got lost. My third period is social studies. As I mentioned earlier Mr. Lindh is awesome. He is so funny and by what I’ve learned he loves to work with kids. He also has a student teacher in the classroom that will be with us until next semester when he will hopefully have his teaching license. I love the subject social studies so I know I will enjoy third period. In fourth period I have language arts with Mrs. Tobiason. Once again I think I will really like this class and can’t wait to get into the curriculum. Next is algebra with Mrs. Franks. She is also the volleyball coach.

She is super funny and I hope to do good in her class. Finally I have science in sixth period with Mrs. Strawn. I have been in her class twice and I can tell I will have fun. I am not even that big into science but Mrs. Srawn told us that if you have fun in science you will remember the facts!

I love every class, and all my teachers are awesome. Mattson was so not what I expected and I am so excited to meet other staff members and have fun this school year. I am now a mustang and this is going to be a fun ride. To be continued ...

Running full speed into another year OUR CORNER

Staff Writer Katherine Smith

Back to school. Yes, it is that time of year again.

I might be in the minority here, but I always loved fall and the turn of the season, picking out new pencils and notebooks—and in college new textbooks and the phenomenon we university kids liked to call syllabus shock, that come with going back to school. I actually really miss going back to school, but I just bought an illusive box of my favorite pens on Amazon. Sorry, Megan, but I can’t find them at a local store!

It’s shaping up to be an interesting year for education both at the national level and in our two school systems.

There’s things like the Common Core State Standards, new teacher and principal evaluation systems, states receiving—

[ TRIBUTE from page 1] a chance to find himself but had to do it very publicly because he was always so famous.”

Ricky Nelson’s life and music touched millions and greatly influenced his twin sons – multi-platinum recording artists Matthew and Gunnar Nelson – who relive the star’s music and memories in an interactive multi-media event, Ricky Nelson Remembered.

The two-hour celebration of the late artist’s career comes to the Kentlake Performing Arts Center for a 7 p.m. show Saturday, and at the Renton’s IKEA Performing Arts Center for a 2 o’clock matinee Sunday.

The show brings back Ricky Nelson’s many hit songs like “Hello Mary Lou,” “Poor Little Fool,” “Travelin’ Man,” “I’m Walkin’,” “I Gotta Feeling,” “Teenage Idol” and “Garden Party.”

The musical event – one of 100 tour stops the 45-year-old twins will make this year – is heartfelt, soulful and full of laughter, all in tribute to their beloved dad.

“He was the nicest guy you have ever met, that’s what impressed me most of all,” Matthew Nelson said. “I never saw him have a celebrity moment or throw a celebrity tantrum. … I never saw him act like he was better than anybody else.

He always looked them in the eyes, shook their hand. He was always sweet.

“He always had a smile on his face,” Matthew Nelson added. “His charisma? It was almost worldly. He was really special that way.”

For many fans, Ricky Nelson was cool then – on TV, stage

or not receiving—waivers related to No Child Left Behind and how that will affect the teacher new teacher and principal evaluation systems, new members of the administrative teams at some of our schools, standards based grading, Future Ready, and, of course, the Tahoma School District’s construction bond that will be on the ballot on Nov. 5.

There’s a lot that will be happening in the year ahead, for sure.

Another thing I’ve always loved about fall is the sports.

I’m rather partial to football—the Biola University football team has been undefeated since 1908—and swimming in near and dear to me because I was a competitive swimmer growing up.

After a break from covering high school sports this summer I’m looking forward to getting out to games, seeing our school teams compete, and getting more experience covering games and meets.

And then there’s fall baking. For most people Labor Day weekend is a last chance to celebrate summer, use that barbecue one more time before the rain sets in. I spent it breaking out the ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and pumpkin.

My kitchen smelled heavenly.

Some of my favorite fall recipes include pumpkin pie granola, gingerbread, and pumpkin roll. We always made

gingerbread as a back to school/end of summer treat when I was a kid and it’s a tradition I’ve happily continued every year including improvising and mixing the dough by hand and using a cup for a rolling pin in a dorm kitchen.

One year I was trying out a new recipe that happened to coincide with an extra credit assignment to bake cookies for firefighters (no joke) at my sister and brother-in-law’s and I didn’t read the entire recipe before deciding to double it and use up all the molasses we had. Fourteen cups of flour later, my sister’s Kitchen Aide mixer bowl was on the verge of overflowing, the corner of her kitchen was covered in flour dust (as was I), and I subsequently spent hours baking those cookies, but I don’t think my brother-in-law’s co-workers minded a bit. It’s a memory my sister and I have laughed over often, and I’ve caught myself almost making the same mistake a few times.

Last weekend I also tried out my grandmother’s caramel corn recipe that I had never made before. I’m still trying to get it just right, it can be a bit finicky and I did burn a batch, but overall I’d say it was a success and it was a successful baking weekend in general.

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around how it can be fall again already, and that I’ve been here almost a year, but nevertheless it is and we’re running at full speed ahead.

and screen – and he remains cool today.

“People still love him and they miss him, and that’s why they come to this show,” Matthew Nelson said.

Ricky Nelson is the only artist to have a No. 1 song, No. 1 movie and No. 1 TV show in the same week. Life Magazine coined the phrase “Teen Idol” after him. He is credited with pioneering the country rock sound.

But as the times changed, so did the music, and Ricky Nelson struggled to capture an audience.

That became evident when Ricky Nelson was booed off the stage at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, seemingly because he was playing his newer, country-tinged music instead of the 1950s-era rock that he had made him so successful earlier in his career.

In response, a disgusted Ricky Nelson came up with “Garden Party,” which became a 1972 hit, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard charts. Lyrically, Nelson shot back, realizing “you can’t please everyone, so you’ve got to please yourself.”

It was yet another unforeseen comeback for Ricky Nelson, whom the music industry considered washed up at the time. “’Garden Party is relevant because it was him in particular,” Matthew Nelson said. “After a lifetime of being what everybody wanted him to be … when everybody kind of made a judgement on him, he got to a place to where he finally said, ‘OK, I’ve just been booed off the stage by 20,000 people because I don’t look like I did in the ‘50s, and I’m playing

Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan songs and new stuff with long hair, and I think I need to say something about it.’”

Nelson’s comeback was short lived. He produced music and had minor roles on television shows, with moderate success. He died in a plane crash on his way to perform a New Year’s Eve concert in 1985. He was 45. His legacy includes 53 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and 19 other top-10 hits.

Now his sons play on, continuing his music, his legacy.

“He was our best friend,” Matthew Nelson said. “I always felt that he’s still on the road (performing). He just hasn’t come back yet.”

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, is a very common lung disease. There are two different types of COPD: chronic emphysema, where the lungs are slowly destroyed over time, and chronic bronchitis, which is a long-term cough with mucous. There are a few common causes of COPD, by far the most common being smoking cigarettes (though smoking cigars and pipes can cause the disease as well).

Secondhand smoke can contribute to COPD, as can pollution and breathing in fumes or toxic substances at work. One out of every three people will develop COPD because of genetics.

Although rare, another cause of COPD is asthma, which can cause long-term.

For all stages of COPD, effective medication and lung therapies are available which can control symptoms, reduce your risk of complications and exacerbations, and improve your ability to lead an active life. And important component in any COPD treatment plan is to stop smoking. It’s the only way to keep COPD from getting worse, and eventually reducing your ability to breathe.

To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972. Our primary care providers are part of a multispecialty physician network and are also available on Saturdays.

Kent teachers get up to speed as classes begin

BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

As summer winds down, teachers are gearing up for the school year by preparing classrooms, materials and lesson plans.

“It’s a whole lot more than setting up desks and chairs,” said Amy Abrams, who teaches language arts at Northwood Middle School. “It’s like preparing for a long distance race.”

It’s a lot more complex than just laying out a lesson plan, Abrams said. She and her teaching partner, Aaron Ohlsen, have to consider a multitude of questions as they look at their lesson plans for the year.

“How are we going to welcome the kids? What do we need to have planned ahead of time? How will we communicate with parents?” Abrams said. “What is my year going to look like? What is this going to look like for the kids? How are we going to get them to the highest level of thinking?”

Many teachers were mak-

ing final preparations. Kent School District schools officially opened Thursday.

Teachers like Natalie Johnson at Emerald Park Elementary have spent more than a hundred hours getting their classrooms ready for the year. Johnson, a kindergarten teacher, has had to arrange an entirely new room for her students.

She took the room and divided it into areas for crafts and areas for play.

Setting up the room takes so much time that many teachers fall on recruiting family and friends to help if they can.

In Johnson’s case, she called in her husband, Todd, and daughter Clara to help organize and arrange hundreds of books, more than 40 boxes of craft supplies and toys. Todd was especially helpful in setting up the hefty classroom tables.

“I did these a couple years ago by myself. It was hard,” Johnson said, motioning to the kiddy-sized tables, “I’m not very strong, and they had them flipped

over. So I’m trying to flip it have to change the classes over before it crushes your up to accommodate student toe, and I’m not doing that needs. again.”

“If the standard is ‘students will use text-based evidence to support a claim,’ well, I can do that in a ton of ways,” Abrams said.

So when planning lessons for the first week, Abrams and Ohlsen look at how to get students engaged and feeling successful before easing into the serious lesson plans.

By planning early lessons and homework aimed at raising their student’s selfesteem, they can move on to the more in depth topics with students who embrace learning.

Another important method to keep the students engaged, said Northwood social studies teacher Scott Miller, is to establish a rapport with them. One of his biggest priorities is getting to know the students from their educational needs to whom they are as people.

“You can’t BS compassion, and you can’t BS a genuine interest in kids,” he said. “They can spot that in a heartbeat, so it comes down to genuinely caring about the kids and wanting to learn about them.”

While the methods of teaching differ from kindergarten to high school, the undercurrents of trying to maintain an interest in learning – and sustain that

interest – are what teachers really prepare for each year.

Jay Maebori, an English teacher at Kentwood high school, said that the best teachers are constantly looking for ways to integrate popular culture and their lessons to keep students engaged.

Maebori, a sports reporter before making a career change to teaching, uses the summer as a way to update himself on teenage interests and culture.

He keeps a list of things that teenagers generally like and tries to use those things to keep them engaged in class.

Instead of simply telling them the importance of being able to read critically, Maebori tries to use real life examples.

While it’s easy to simplify the steps teachers take to prepare for classes each term, the reality is that there’s much more involved work than just seating plans and handouts.

The key for most teachers is to reinforce an attitude and philosophy that demonstrate the importance of learning in everyday life, so they can succeed professionally after high school.

“Every one of these kids is going to college,” Abrams said, “and I have to help them get there.”

And both candidates see a need for the city to communicate better with Black Diamond residents on all issues.

“Our citizens aren’t stupid, contrary to what some people may think, I’m finding that as I’m door-belling,” Edelman said. “We’ve got to pull the city back together, the citizens of the city back together. There’s still this chasm.

People think there’s this pro-growth (side), there’s this no growth—not in my backyard (side), but most people are in the middle. We know growth is coming but it needs to be responsibly done. If we could bring those other two factions closer to the middle … we need to be able to listen to our citizens, we need to pay attention to them, we can’t just blow them off.”

Nelson said it is difficult for an ordinary resident to find information.

“There needs to be something to bridge the gap, whether that be a newsletter, a separate website or community forums … that needs to change,” Nelson said. “Once (the development) happens I think people are really going to start asking questions and that’s when we need to have an open format to help people find out what’s going on. MPDs aren’t common here and people don’t understand it.”

Edelman said voters should know she doesn’t come to the race with an agenda.

“I want to do the best job I can do to protect our citizens and keep our taxes as low as possible,” she said. “It’s fun, I feel like I’m doing something good for our community. I’m honest, I have personal integrity and I do the right thing and I’m not beholden to everybody. I think I can do some good for this city. I don’t have an agenda, I’m not coming into stop YarrowBay, I’m here to make sure we hold them accountable and responsible.”

Nelson said he has a different strategy he plans to employ if he is elected.

“One thing I bring is the ability to communicate to the community from the council,” he said. “Instead of asking the people who have fought and not gotten along I would ask people outside what we could do to communicate with the community. The thing I want to do, the city itself as a whole, has been so divided they haven’t been able to come together … I’m going outside of Black Diamond to professionals to mediate and create a more united front in the city. I want to help build a city where my kids can maybe reside in themselves and grow old in. I’m excited to communicate with the city and meet all the residents and be as involved as I have been in the past in Black Diamond.”

City, S.D. Her family moved to the area in 1951 when she was a newborn after her father got at job with The Boeing Co. She grew up in Bellevue where she attended Sacred Heart Church for grade school and Holy Names Academy for high school. She attended Bellevue Community College and Yakima Community College before returning to Seattle in 1974.

Initially Edelman planned to become a court reporter and attended a program at Green River Community College, but, she was working full time as a secretary at Boeing. She decided to commit to her job at Boeing shortly after she started dating Bob Edelman, the man she would later marry. She spent 19 years at Boeing, working her way up from a secretarial position to serving as a manger with a few dozen people under her supervision on projects that were part of the company’s military contract work.

“It was a great career,” Edelman said. “Then in 1992, I was in Georgia at the time on a business trip and my husband called me, he said, ‘I quit today.’ He decided to retire.”

At that point, Edelman decided to retire, and the couple who have been married 31 years, traveled the world. They moved to a house at the end of a dead-end street on Lake Sawyer from Issaquah in July 1989. Lake Sawyer was annexed into Black Diamond in 1997.

“Black Diamond is a wonderful little city,” Edelman said.

“It’s a nice city. It’s a nice community.”

She chose to run for City Council after the state environmental protection act report for the MPDs — known as The Villages and Lawson Hills — began to get attention in Black Diamond.

“It just blew up from there,” Edelman said. “I testified at the development agreement hearings … I went to lots of City Council meetings, work studies. As a result of being involved in all of the emotion of the MPDs and then Joe May resigned … Bob and I started looking at it, we asked, ‘Who is going to fill that vacancy who believes the same thing we do and manage the process?’ The MPDs and the development agreements were approved by previous city councils, I don’t agree with it, but it’s done.”

Her husband, Bob, helped form Toward Responsible Development, a group she described as “a vehicle to tell the city the citizens were upset.”

It is important to Edelman to ensure that YarrowBay does what it agreed to do, she said.

Nelson, meanwhile, was born in Seattle and raised in Kent — he graduated from Kentridge High — where he lived with his wife and two children until 10 years ago when they decided it would be better to move to Black Diamond because they were looking for “a safer, more family friendly community.”

What initially drew Nelson into Black Diamond’s political scene was changes to the city’s police department. As he became more involved he felt like there was more to tackle.

“I think that the council that was there wasn’t listening to us if we tried to speak to them as citizens,” Nelson said.

“The growth has to happen to save the city and with the MPDs they have out now the council can actually control how the growth happens. I want to be the voice of the city and tell the truth to everybody, not from one angle. I got in to be helpful. The more that I got involved the more and more disheartening it was to see how things have taken place.”

Both candidates agree that the growth coming as a result of YarrowBay’s proposed developments will happen and it is critical to guide it so it is well thought out while also being beneficial for residents.

“There are checks and balances to control the growth and make sure it doesn’t get out of control,” Nelson said.

“As a council, collectively, we can help steer and guide that in the right direction. The MPDs have stop gaps. We can check to see if they crossed all their Ts and dotted all their Is. If they don’t, then we can stop it.”

Nelson and Edelman both want to see the city do a better job of bringing in business to the city.

“To help the city be more accessible to the people and a lot more business friendly, a lot more business friendly,” Nelson said. “You can claim it’s the economy but the businesses are opening up somewhere else because it wasn’t working in Black Diamond.”

Edelman said that once the houses are built, then the city can work to bring in businesses.

“Who is going to occupy those businesses,” Edelman said. “My question is, what is coming into Black Diamond?

We need some good, sustainable businesses.”

For Edelman, sustainability also applies to the city’s budget process. She serves on the city’s finance committee, and recently spent time at a municipal finance seminar in Leavenworth.

“There’s a lot of budgetary issues in the city,” Edelman said. “We’re looking at the budgets right now and we’re down in the weeds. We want to make sure the city can sustain itself until the growth happens.”

A concern for Nelson related to the impending growth is the state of the city’s police force.

“There are ways and means to bring in revenue to help the police department and with the growth that’s coming you can’t go backward with police,” he said. “We have to find ways to keep, save and bring more police to Black Diamond. You don’t bring in all the new residents and take police away, it doesn’t make sense. I do have ideas and suggestions to make when the time comes.”

How your pediatrician can help prevent childhood obesity

Understanding the connection between TIA and risks of a stroke DR. AARON HEIDE For the Reporter

Is it a new competing car company from South Korea, like KIA? Is it the new “in” name to call your child (pronounced tee-ah)?

No, actually it is an, often, overused medical term to describe any transient focal neurological symptom. Although if I were to have another child I am sure TIA might be on the list of names. TIA stands for transient ischemic attack. It results from a brief lack of blood flow to a part or parts of the brain.

The symptoms can be almost anything, including weakness, numbness, tingling, vision loss or changes, balance difficulties, slurred speech or difficulties expressing

words, dizziness, or even confusion. Because of the plethora of symptoms, diagnosing TIA has taken on a life of its own and can be easily overused.

As a vascular neurologist and stroke specialist I am frequently asked to evaluate a patient who has suffered a TIA to prevent a stroke. This is very important as the risk of someone having a completed stroke (permanent neurological injury as a result of lack of blood flow to the brain) is somewhere between 12 and 25 percent over the next 30 days after suffering from a TIA. Most of this risk is over the first one to seven days.

TIA is considered a neurologic emergency because of this high risk of stroke.

Community News and Notes MAKE ANNUAL CHECK-UP PART OF BACK TO SCHOOL As the start of the school year approaches, it’s important to add one more item to your back-to-school checklist: a checkup for your child with his or her primarycare physician.

HELP WANTED?

“Parents who remember to call earlier to schedule checkups have a greater likelihood of being seen by their school’s deadline, and at a time of day that’s convenient for them,” said Dr. Doreen Kiss, a pediatrician with the UW Neighborhood Clinic in Kent/Des Moines.

The following checklist will help ensure that your child is prepared for his or her first day back at school:

an ER visit for a single TIA are from $20,000 to more than $40,000.

Even with all of this cost, the patient has still not yet seen a stroke specialist to determine the cause of the symptoms to prevent a potential stroke. The costs are some of the highest for ER visits in Pierce County averaging $42,000 per TIA visit. TIA clinics operated by a vascular neurologist can offer an option to an ER visit for patients with TIA symptoms. Patients can be seen urgently by a specialist; with a focused workup tailored to the patient’s symptoms at less than 10 percent of the cost of an ER visit.

Dr. Aaron Heide operates TIA clinics in Enumclaw, Bonney Lake, Puyallup, Tacoma, Renton, and Bellevue. Immediate appointments can be made by calling 425-264-CLOT (2568).

Make a checklist of concerns you have regarding your child’s health and bring it with you to the appointment, review your child’s medical history, talk with your child about the appointment and encourage him or her to ask questions, compile a list of medication your child takes, remember to bring the sports authorization physical for m if your child will participate in school sports, check your child’s immunization record, and obtain a doctor’s note for medications your child must take at school.

tion at an emergency room is to have the acute onset of neurological deficits that do not go away.

So then the question is where and when is the best way to evaluate symptoms of TIA? Sooner the better is the answer. However there are practical factors to consider such as is the emergency room the most appropriate place to be evaluated for a TIA. I am obviously biased.

As a stroke specialist I feel that a TIA clinic operated by a stroke neurologist can provide an urgent and efficient workup to determine if the symptoms are truly a TIA and then determine the best course of action for proper testing and treatment at a low cost.

When patients are seen in an emergency room there is an extensive workup performed that can end up being very expensive.

In a recent government publication the cost of many common diagnoses seen at hospitals determined that the charges for

However, I have found that as many as 50 percent of the patients I see with a diagnosis of TIA do not end up having a true TIA. As the only stroke neurologist outside Seattle between Olympia and Spokane, I see a large number of patients who present to my TIA clinics to be assessed for their risk of stroke and provide treatment to prevent a stroke. I find that many patients who come in with symptoms of TIA ultimately end up with a cause of their symptoms that is not due to a transient loss of blood flow to their brains. The diagnoses can range anywhere from a migraine without headache (yes, migraines are not headaches and can have transient neurological

symptoms without a headache. I know because I get them), sleep dysfunction, medication use or even a vitamin deficiency or a combination of the above.

Even though a TIA could be a symptom of something less scary than an impending stroke it is still a good idea to get it checked out immediately to make sure it isn’t a true TIA. That is why I see patients in my TIA clinics within 24 to 48 hours of their symptoms and often the same day when the symptoms are more concerning. Many patients do not address the symptoms right away, understandably so, because as by definition, the symptoms of a TIA are transient and completely resolve. They feel that since it resolved there is no longer a concern. This isn’t further from the truth. They also feel if they go to an emergency room they will have to wait for an extended period of time to be assessed. This is often the case as the secret to getting an urgent evalua-

computer games each day. This information is important to develop an overall picture, so to speak, of your child’s health index.

When making a change in what your child eats or her activity level, it is very important to get the entire family involved. It’s likely if your child is tending toward obesity others in the family are as well, and your child will look to you to start and set the example.

The other important tool we use to diagnosis obesity is body mass index, which is calculated by using the child’s height and weight. The BMI gives us an objective way to measure obesity and we also use it to track your child’s progress.

If you are concerned that your family may have a problem with obesity or has a hard time sticking to a healthy lifestyle, please make an appointment with your healthcare provider! The earlier you address the problem the easier it will be to change.

factors such as poor self-esteem. So, you can see why this is an issue worthy of our attention!

One of the reasons that I truly enjoy being a pediatrician is that I have the unique opportunity to watch my patients grow and develop from children into young adults. This gives me the chance to discuss health issues such as obesity on a regular basis and help instill healthy lifestyle values such as being active and eating healthy foods. It is much easier to address obesity in our kids if we start addressing the problem early on. If we wait until subsequent health issues appear, the pattern is engrained and much more difficult to change.

So, how does a physician determine if your child is overweight or obese? When you bring your son or daughter in for a visit your provider should ask what kind of foods they are eating, what beverages they drink daily and what snacks you offer your child. I also like to find out what outdoor activities your child and family is involved in and how many hours your child watches television or plays video or

COMMENTARY

About 17 percent of children and adolescents between the ages of 2 to 19 years old — or 12.5 million — are considered obese as measured by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey using body mass index.

Statistics show that 15 percent of all Seattle residents are obese while 27 percent of children and 55 percent of adults in south King County are obese. These are very startling statistics which is why addressing childhood obesity is a top priority for us at VMC. Why should you care about this issue? Obese children are at risk for having high blood pressure and high cholesterol which sets them up for cardiovascular disease later in life. Obesity also increases the risk for impaired glucose tolerance and Type 2 diabetes and this is not all – obese children may also develop health issues related to breathing problems such as sleep apnea and asthma, joint problems, fatty liver disease, and gall bladder disease.

Revive your summer garden with a burst of fall magic

ENJOY THE COLORS OF A SECOND SPRING WITH FALL

MAGIC Your pooped out petunias and faded fuchsias can be added to the compost pile because making your summer-weary landscape disappear in a blaze of autumn glory is as easy as pulling a rabbit foot’s fern out of a hat. Here are three quick changes you can make now: Marianne Binetti

The Compleat Home Gardener

The “brr” months begin as autumn ushers in the cold, but here in Western Washington we still have a month of warm weather to enjoy.

This is the time to get serious about deadheading, cutting back and watering well if you want to enjoy summer flowers until the first hard frost.

Don’t fret if your hanging baskets, container gardens or blooming beds are looking sunburned and summer worn. September begins the show of fall magic and this is the month when local nurseries renew their stock for a fresh season of flowers.

September is also the month to take a critical look at those plants in the landscape with serious drinking problems. You can lower your water bill and raise your real estate value by replacing wilted, leafdropping rhododendrons and sun-scorched hydrangeas with drought-resistant trees and shrubs that will happily survive on rainfall alone.

1 – Yank out the tallest plant in your potted flowering container and replace it with the colorful stems and leaves of “Rainbow Delight” Swiss chard. This nutritious and shade-tolerant vegetable will provide greens all winter long and by growing it near the kitchen on a porch or patio you’ll have easy access to fresh chard during cold weather.

A beautiful bonus is how nice Swiss chard looks with winter pansies and autumn mums.

2 – Fill a basket with potted mums and pumpkins. There’s no need to dig, buy potting soil or get your hands dirty. Just bring home some already potted-up mum plants and set them still in their pots inside a bushel basket,

hollowed out pumpkin or anything vintage or rusty.

An old wagon or wheelbarrow is ideal. Hide the plastic pots with pumpkins and gourds or even colorful fallen leaves. Now you have an autumn display that celebrates the change in seasons. Tip: Check daily to make sure the potted mums have moist soil and buy mum plants with plenty of buds for a long bloom season.

3 – Beautify your borders with heucheras. These leafy perennial plants are heaven sent for the gardener that wants both fall and winter color. Grouping peach, orange and burgundy heucheras into color families near walkways and into container gardens is a quick way to cast a warm autumn glow to the landscape. Add some spikes of ornamental grasses, the rich tones of purple and blue asters and fill in with some lowgrowing winter pansies.

The fresh color and new buds is sure to spike a bout of spring fever – even in September.

an intervention and forcibly remove any landscape plants that need constant water. Adding organic matter to the soil and covering roots with a blanket of mulch will help conserve water around many shrubs but another choice is to plant the drought-resistant couples below for a beautiful plant marriage – with no drinking problems.

FOR FULL SUN: ROYAL PURPLE SMOKE TREE AND GOLDEN NUGGET BARBERRY These two thrive even in rocky or sandy soil. You’ll enjoy great fall and spring color from the contrast in foliage. Surround the taller smoke tree with three to five dwarf barberry plants.

You can also find Golden Spirit smoke trees with glistening gold leaves and use dark purple barberry plants for a color contrast in the same bed. Neither of these plants drink too much or demand extra attention.

That’s what I call a marriage of convenience.

FOR DRY SHADE: GOLDSTRIKE AUCUBA AND JAPANESE ANEMONES The tall, delicate blooms of autumn-blooming Japanese anemones come in shades of white, pink and purple and these perennial

plants come back year after year even if grown in the dry shade of cedar and fir trees. Just don’t plant this garden tramp in fertile soil or she will spread quickly and invade other beds.

Aucuba is a well-behaved evergreen shrub with large shiny leaves that will thrive in even the darkest shade.

FOR PART SUN/SHADE: JAPANESE MAPLES AND WINTER CREEPER EUONYMUS Add plenty of organic matter to the soil at planting time and the spectacular Japanese maple will thrive on rainfall alone – but like all newly planted trees and shrubs you will need to keep the soil moist until the roots are established. The low-growing, evergreen euonymus like Emerald Gaiety or the golden Emerald and Gold euonymus adds sweeps of year-long, weed-blocking color. Japanese maples have great figures, come in many shades and leaf sizes and love our winter wet climate.

It worked one time. We found the perfect suit jacket in the perfect color. Then the costumes started to get more elaborate.

I figure one really great costume is all anyone needs in a lifetime, but she wants to make a new costume every year.

It has to be as perfect and as close to the character as she can get, so there will never be any question who she is dressed up as.

My youngest daughter is at it again. She’s making yet another costume for another anime convention.

I believe it has long ago quit being about the anime (Japanese cartoons), but more about the costume.

They refer to it as “cosplay,” I know it’s really dress-up, but what amazes me is not the fact that people dress up as cartoon characters (any movie, TV show, book or comic are fair game), it’s the talent my daughter has for making costumes.

She hasn’t wanted help since, nor has she needed it. And let me tell you, it looks like she stepped right off the comic page or out of the TV by the time she is done.

I have to admit I breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t want help, because I’m not comfortable around a sewing machine. But as a mother, I tried to interfere. I mean, what 15-year old can create an elaborate, hand-made costume by herself? But it was like when she was being potty trained – she

With these costumes it’s the same. I’m not allowed to help, give advice or my opinion and I’m not allowed to watch. When my mom asks about the progress of my daughter’s costume and I tell her it looks really cool, my mom seems disappointed.

I know she is jealous because I get to watch my daughter’s progress. But she has it wrong, the only time I see anything before it is finished is when my daughter is at school. Then I sneak into her room and pick my way through the mess of

creativity at work until I find the almost complete costume, then I marvel to myself.

On continued inspection of her room, I find the drawing she did of the design and it takes my breath away.

Her talent is so amazing, it’s hard to believe she is my daughter. It’s not just sewing, and drawing, it’s sculpting too.

She recreated the decorative rifle one of her characters carries out of a block of Styrofoam.

Sure, artistic talent runs in my family, but how many of us can draw a perfectly proportioned picture of the outfit we want to wear, sew it up and carve a rifle out of Styrofoam?

So when my mother sounds disappointed, I

know she wishes she was part of these wonders of creation like she thinks I am. But I can’t take any credit. I may, however, someday say, “I drove her around to find the pieces to make the costume.”

Until then, I think I’ll stick with writing.

How the creation of national parks spurred political debate Which is more important, saving the environment or creating new industries and jobs? This issue was one of the main themes recently in PBS’s six-hour presentation on the National Parks and how they came to be.

As one would expect on PBS, the story, an excellent production by Ken Burns, emphasized the need to preserve America’s “crown jewels” – Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and the 55 others, including Mount Rainier – from commercialization.

The show’s repeated warning, virtually a mantra, was to avoid the mistake of what happened with the commercialization of Niagara Falls. Private individuals came to the falls, saw an opportunity to make money through selling electricity to the public and vistas or souvenirs to visiting tourists, thus cheapening the Niagara’s natural wonder with crass capitalistic commercialism.

As I sat watching I realized the conflict between conservation on one hand, and politics and capitalism on the other, is a recurring theme in American history. Capitalism has been both a blessing and a cause for government to step in to preserve vast acreage for posterity. It’s a blessing because the inventive, creative spirit of capitalism helped to shape our nation. Dealing with a wild western frontier forced settlers to adapt to changing conditions to survive. New inventions sprang out of those needs: the steel plow, steamboats to navigate the rivers and waterways of the nation and railroads to span the great distances from coast to coast. American in-

ventions like the telegraph and telephone also helped to bind the nation together.

New ways of making steel cheaply, adapted from the German Bessemer process by Andrew Carnegie, helped to create skyscrapers and steel bridges, changing the face of our cities and the nation. Eventually, that cheaply made steel would turn America into a nation on wheels, with a modern steel navy second to none.

The son of oil capitalist John D. Rockefeller used his family’s wealth to purchase 35,000 acres and then donate land for the Grand Tetons National Park. Rockefeller money also preserved colonial Williamsburg in Virginia as a historic nonprofit tourist attraction, educating the public about our national history and government, creating thousands of jobs in the process.

As a defensive measure against capitalism’s ills, Congress in 1906 passed and President Teddy Roosevelt signed into law the Antiquities Act, giving presidents power to set aside important historic or scientific sites if they are on federal property.

Devil’s Tower in Wyoming was the first to be set aside by executive order.

Every president since 1906 has set aside land for national monuments except Richard Nixon.

The most recent, The First State National Monument in Delaware, number 108, was set aside by President Obama in March of this year. In all, 757 areas of federal land have been set aside as wildernesses, totaling 109,511,966 acres, to protect them from commercial development.

The advantage for the president is that it does not require Congressional ap-

proval, often angering business interests who see profit in those monuments. Of course, these decisions have not occurred without howls of protest and lawsuits.

Conservatives historically have often strongly objected to these decisions because if an area is set aside for nation parks, monuments and wildernesses, it means American business interests will have to search elsewhere in the world for commodities such as oil, natural gas, and precious minerals, costing the industries, and

How, and for what reasons, our nation’s natural beauty should be preserved caused a split in the environmentalist movement.

John Muir, president of the Sierra Club, and National Forester Gifford Pinchot tangled over the Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. Muir wanted to preserve the valley as a national temple to nature,

but Pinchot and the city of San Francisco wanted to turn it into a reservoir to provide water and power for the Bay Area.

It took three presidents before the issue was decided.

These decisions to preserve land for aesthetic reasons has also made the U.S. less self-sufficient and dependent on potentially hostile nations to supply strategic materials, especially in time of war. Setting aside these federal lands also raises the cost of land development.

MAYOR’S DAY OF CONCERN PROP 1: SALES & USE TAX Proposition 1 is coming to voters on November 5. A FOOD DRIVE 0.2% sales tax increase is being proposed to generate With so many families in our community still struggling from the economic crisis it can be hard to know how best to help. You can donate food for hungry local families by shopping and donating at your Covington Safeway store on Saturday, Sept. 28. Food collected will benefit the Maple Valley Food Bank who has served 1,992 Covington residents throughout 2012.

This year cash donations are especially critical due to dramatic budgets cuts from FEMA to food banks who would use these funds to purchase foods that were not accessible by donations. Covington City Council members and Human Services Commission members will volunteer their time to collect cash and food donations at the Safeway store. This annual event is coordinated by the Emergency Feeding Program of Seattle and King County with scheduled food drives across King County.

enough revenue to continue to maintain Covington's streets. It would raise the sales tax from 8.6 to 8.8%.

A 0.2% sales tax increase equates to one cent for every $5.00 in taxable purchases. The sales tax would be paid by everyone who shops in Covington and uses Covington streets and services, not just Covington residents. It would generate roughly $750,000 per year in revenue and expire in 10 years. The city’s Street Fund, which pays to maintain city streets, has a budgeted shortfall of $56,000 this year, and reserves are expected to run out by 2017.

Among the causes for this shortfall are statewide ballot measures, the Great Recession, higher gas prices, and in ation.

New this Fall is: Adult Slow Flow/Yin Yoga taught on Wednesdays from 10-11 a.m. in the Community Room at City Hall; Kidz Love Soccer on Fridays from 3-6 p.m. at the new Covington Community Park; and Kids Cooking Classes taught by Growing Green Kids on Tuesdays from 10:30-11:30 a.m. or Thursdays from 4-6 p.m. in the Community Room at City Hall.

The city’s General Fund currently subsidizes the Street Fund—about $250,000 is being transferred into the Street Fund annually, which still is not su cient to meet the city’s transportation needs. The city currently does not build street projects unless it gets grants, does not overlay streets without grants, and does only limited pavement repair.

COVING TO N

Sidney Smith passed away suddenly at her home in Covington on August 20, 2013. Sidney was born on April 8, 1964 in Laguna Beach, California.

She was preceded in death by her brother George Morton. Sidney is survived by Ross, her loving husband; her son Jeremy Kuykendall; and her parents Morris Morton, Mary Jane Chapman, and William Chapman, along with an aunt and many cousins.

Sidney loved life and lived it to the fullest. Her happiest moments were when she was able to take care of someone. She held her family and friends very close to her heart, and was a very kind and giving person that would do anything for anyone, be it a longtime friend or a stranger on the side of the road.

She enjoyed family reunions and taking her beloved lab, Nova with her everywhere and was very proud of her beautiful flower garden.

Sidney Nadean Smith was a beautiful person inside and out and her beautiful smile and brilliant eyes will be missed by many.

A memorial honoring her memory will be held Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at Edline-Yahn & Covington Funeral Chapel.

It is time for our community to step up for our children.

They deserve to be safe at school. They deserve to be able to go to the bathroom when they want to and not wait for 20 other kids to go first. They deserve to eat lunch in a lunch room that can accommodate all of them and not get pushed outside in the pouring down rain because they were the last ones who were able to get in to the lunchroom.

I am truly overwhelmed by the environment we ask our kids to learn in and most importantly what we ask our staff to teach in.

Removing overcrowding is one of those areas. As I walked the hallway with the kids after third lunch, the bumping, pushing, yelling, etc., all I could imagine was someone pulling out a knife and starting to stab the children and staff around them.

I found myself getting very angry that our kids are put in this position.

But this is not the fault the district staff. They go above and beyond. I even watched the assistant principal trying to reassure a new eighth grader that she would make friends and that she would be OK. Or the staff that sat down and ate lunch in the middle of the students. Teachers who walked up to the new students and helped them fig-

Bathroom space is almost non existent compared to the kids that need to use it, and trying to walk through the halls at period passing was beyond horrific.

This next statement is probably going to make some people angry, but it truly is the reality of what we live in: We all know that schools are not guaranteed 100 percent safe and secure.

The SPSL North girls swim and dive league season is shaping up to be a repeat of last year with Tahoma and Mount Rainier expected to compete for the division title.

BEARS DUAL MEET AGAINST RAMS CIRCLED ON THE CALENDAR

The Tahoma Bears went undefeated in the league last year until the last meet of the season when the team lost to Mount Rainier.

Tahoma High senior and co-captain Kayla von Michalofski said that the loss has strengthened the teams resolve and this year the Bears want to come out on top.

“We were undefeated last year until the very end when Mount Rainier beat us,” Von Michalofski said of why she’s most looking forward to this year’s meet with Mount Rainier.

“I think it made us pull together.”

Key returners for Tahoma this year include co-captain Jessica Miller, Haillie Mazick, Brooke Bailey, co-captain Allie Duven, Ashley Lewis, Austin Hanger, Lindsey Hanger, and MacKenzie Dress.

Top newcomers are Alex Stein, Jill Collins, and Olivia Halbert.

Tahoma went 4-1 in the league which is rounded out by Kentwood, Kentlake, Kentridge, and Kent-Meridian.

“We bond,” Miller said of the team’s strengths. “And the thing I like the most is that we’re always supportive of each other. We’re not

Von Michalofski said that the support and bonding of team is what she looks forward to each year.

“It’s like a second family,” von Michalofski said.

One bonding activity the Bears will participate in this year will be to run the Bra Dash 5K at Lake Wilderness Park in Maple Valley, an event organized by Mazick’s mom, Kristi Blair, to raise money for local breast cancer research.

“I think it’s a great idea,” von Michalofski said.

with losses to Tahoma and Mount Rainier last year.

This year the Falcons have a new head coach, Brad Williams, who has a background in competitive swimming and whose daughter is on the team.

Key returners for Kentlake this season are Kyndal Phillips, Allie Losacco, Trisha Glover, Laura Williams, Erin Jones, and Jenny Stephanescu.

Phillips said she sees one of the teams strengths being how well the girls get along.

“Definitely how close we are,” Phillips said. “We get to do a lot of team bonding,” Glover said that the meets and enthusiasm her teammates bring to them is her favorite part of the season.

grow this year after finishing 1-4 last year.

Seniors Natalie Lesnick and Iliana Sanchez have their sights set on improving individually and as a team as well as enjoying their senior year.

Lesnick is working toward a trip to the state finals in the 200 and 500 free and Sanchez’s goal is to qualify for the league meet.

“I feel like everyone really gets along and we encourage each other,” Sanchez said.

Lesnick added that she’s looking forward to the 200 free relay and getting it qualified for the district meet at the end of October.

Sanchez and Lesnick said that the team they are most looking forward to swimming against this year is Kentlake.

“I’d really like to beat Kentlake,” Lesnick said. “I just think if everyone tries hard and gets best times, it doesn’t matter who we beat.”

Top returners this year include Lesnick, Sanchez, Drew Vagen, and Mae Waite. Key newcomers include Hannah Lesnick and Delaney Mathews.

Meets to watch this season include Tahoma at Kentlake at Covington Aquatic Center on Sept. 19, Kentwood at Tahoma at Covington Aquatic Center on Sept. 26, and Tahoma at Mount Rainier on Oct. 15 at Mount Rainier.

“Everyone gets really pumped and really excited about it,” Glover said.

The focus of the beginning of the season has been on increasing their endurance and getting back into the grove of practice, Williams said. “(We’ve been) putting down a base and getting people’s strength back up.”

Williams also said that she is looking towards the league meet in the post season.

“That’s where we have the most people (of the post season meets),” Williams said.

[ LEVY from page 1] the city and it continues to be a good deal,â&#x20AC;? Olness said.

A fire district is a junior taxing district, which means an additional tax is paid by residents to pay for the services.

In the case of the ILA in Black Diamond, Olness explained that the ILA is paid for out of property taxes and through the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allotment of a levy that was passed in King County to help fund emergency services.

The city has fire engines and other infrastructure from the former independent department and pays for the staffing provided by the fire district.

Currently that means two paid, career firefighters are on duty at Lake Sawyer Station No. 98 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and two volunteer firefighters are on duty from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Additionally the Fire Chief Greg Smith of Fire District 44 doubles as the chief of Black Diamond Fire. Station 99, located near the elementary school, needs to be replaced according to Olness and Smith, and cannot be adequately outfitted and staffed.

The city also has mutual aid agreements, which means that firefighters from neighboring districts respond, as available, if the firefighters in the city are out on a separate call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we never had before because we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the manpower,â&#x20AC;? Olness said.

Not being a part of Fire District 44 means Black Diamond residents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote on things like this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levy lid lift, but it also means that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be directly impacted by the outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indirectly it will affect us because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down to bear bones in the office, but directly it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an affect on us,â&#x20AC;? Olness said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the firefighters they supply us.â&#x20AC;?

The cost of the ILA is $585,000 a year and it will be up for renewal the end of this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a really, really good relationship, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased with their services,â&#x20AC;? Olness said.

According to the chief, response times are the general marker of having adequate service.

Smith explained that areas within five miles of a staffed fire station should have what are considered adequate response times, which are around six minutes or less for both emergency medical services and fire responses.

Deputy Chief Mike Barlow said that when considering response times the district looks at a three year average, which in Black Diamond he said comes out to about 600 calls, both fire and EMS, that were responded to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within that data set, for example, the calls that come in closest to a staffed station, Lake Sawyer station 98, those response times are under five minutes,â&#x20AC;? Barlow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response times get longer the farther you get from the stationâ&#x20AC;Ś(When) theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from station 98 and going into the downtown core, people like to call it old town, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the order of 10 minutes.â&#x20AC;?

A diagram provided by Mountain View Fire shows that in 2010 and 2011 in the areas around Station 98 are, on average, under seven minutes, while on the other side of town in the old town and Lawson Hills areas, the response time stretches into the 10 minute range.

Additional graphics provided by Smith show that in the case of a fire, the eight minute mark is generally when a fire â&#x20AC;&#x153;flashes over,â&#x20AC;? or is when a room becomes fully engulfed by a fire, and that in the case of a heart attack, the six minute mark for response time is when the survival rate falls below 40 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That (10 minutes) is longer than a firefighter would like,â&#x20AC;? Barlow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the firefighter world we like to get there in under five minutes.â&#x20AC;?
